The Emmbrook School
Wokingham, RG41 1JP · Wokingham · secondary school
7th of 9 secondary schools in Wokingham we can score, 10 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 618 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 55.7 · 76 | 30% | 2.27 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.01 · 50 | 25% | 1.24 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.7 · 74 | 10% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2023-11. In 2024/25, 55.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.01 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1 out of 10 among them, against 6.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Sports Day, Colour run, and Beach football. Arts and music activities include music concerts, drama productions, bake-offs, and creative writing competitions. The school also organises World Challenge trips.
Getting in. There are 1309 pupils in a school with 1219 places, meaning it is over capacity by 90. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 90 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not meeting the national progress benchmarks? How do you ensure all students have access to the named extracurricular activities despite the high pupil numbers?
